This past week...

Not much to report on except that we survived this past week in the heat wave. Westyn was a little trooper as I know she was miserable as were we. We gave her cold baths every night and stressed about what to put her in for bed - and decided on just a diaper. Kenai was equally as miserable so we handed him off to my parents on Wednesday and they headed to the canal; I followed on Thursday. It was just as hot at the canal but with the breeze it felt much cooler. Troy took the ferry from work Friday afternoon and we once again had an amazing weekend waterskiing and swimming. Our friends Danny & Liz Walton came out on Saturday morning and we had a wonderful time with them floating around in the water drinking plenty of margaritas.

On another note, Westyn started swim lessons 3 weeks ago and is having a great time. Troy goes in the pool with her while I'm at the edge with the camera like a crazy Mom. Since these started we have taken her infant bathtub out and she now takes baths in the regular tub lying on a bath mat. This has given her much more freedom to play and move her legs and she really has taken to it - it's pretty funny to watch. We also started her on rice cereal a few weekends ago, not quite sure how to report on that....I think she liked it but she liked the spoon in her mouth much more.

Trying solids for the first time - but did it get in her mouth?
